The winner of the Richmond Hill Garden Club’s Yard of the Month for May is the home of Arlene and Danny Smith in the Oxford subdivision.

According to garden club representative Gloria Shearin the Smith’s front yard is filled with roses (in full bloom), daylilies that are just starting their blooming season, and clematis that are climbing trellises.

“Mixed in with all of these are other perennials and annuals. The backyard hosts hydrangeas, hosta, Shasta daisies, more clematis, and other plants. Arlene notes that she does most of the yard work and her husband, Danny, builds the projects she dreams up, including the lovely arch and gate to their back yard. This yard is truly a neighborhood jewel,” Shearin said.
